How many outlets you need? how many amps total in each outlet or watts? Voltage required, is everything 110 v or you have pumps that are 220 volts? fill in the blanks and will help you with the electrical part, keep in mind everything has to be GFI protected and intead of regular outlets separate GFI switch combos will protect your system better in a sence that if you have a fault in the system only the light or outlet fed by that GFI will trip. Install a separate GFI for each pomp.

Note: as you can see from the photos above most receptacles are not used. Electricity is beast kept as simple as possible.Also run a ground wire attached to a small stainless wire to to ground the watter in the fishtanks.

Actually this link you posted http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1065851
L and L could use some help in the auto watter top off system. i would start with all the controls to be 24 volts (low voltage) feeding a relay. much safer!! ELECTRICITY AND WATTER DON'T MIX. Specially salt watter that has a high conductivity. All yous control floats should be low voltage.

If your talking about my panel I made it larger so it can grow with me being able to upgrade to a very large tank in the future, and these were the early stages of my tanks birth.
